Ok, i have some questions about a few things, just stuff i don't understand.

when i go to reboot, what are the differences between....

KDE 
GNOME
ICE WM
Failsafe
Default

i would guess that failsafe would be kind of like "safe mode" in windows, am i 
right?

i'm also kind of guessing that default would be the most basic way to enter 
linux, with no preferences set in the system or anything else, right?

And yet MORE questions (only reason i'm asking so many in this e-mail is 
because they all seem to be related to each other)

When booting up the computer and i get to the dual boot option, among the 
choices is "linux" and "linux-nonfb."  what's the difference there?

And one more question...what is ROOT and what is it used for?  when would i 
ever have to use it and how do i get into ROOT?  ROOT is used for adding 
programs or making changes, right?

i'm searching for the answers online as well, but hoping someone can give me 
some good definitions of these things, either "on-list" or "off-list", 
doesn't matter.  Thanks a bunch!

Mike
